A visualization of a fruit fly connectome—a complete neural wiring diagram—controlling a Super Mario Bros game at 60 frames per second. The project maps biological neural connections to game inputs, demonstrating how network topology can drive gameplay behavior.
This interactive demonstration shows the fruit fly brain (Drosophila melanogaster) in action, with its approximately 3,000 neurons and 100,000 synapses translated into functional game control. A technical exploration of neuroscience and computational systems.
